A New Home for conservative Gays and Lesbians...

I am out here in Winnipeg for the Conservative Party Conference and I thought I would announce the following:

A New Home for conservative Gays and Lesbians

Winnipeg, November 13, 2008 – Gay Dominion is a new home for gay conservatives in Canada – and allied with no political party. Contrary to public belief, gays in Canada represent a broad cross-section of opinion, and the default political position of many Canadian gays and lesbians is not liberal.

Gay Dominion stands for limited government, low taxes, free markets, the merit principle, personal responsibility, AND the equality of gays and lesbians. Gay Dominion is against rampant political correctness, myopic religious intolerance, moral and cultural relativism, anti-Americanism, and the tearing down of western civilization.

“I am delighted to launch Gay Dominion in Winnipeg at the Conservative Party Conference,” said Fred Litwin, who is also a blogging tory under the name GayandRight, “While we have no formal links with the Conservative Party of Canada, I am hopeful that we can help turn the party into a welcoming home for small ‘c’ conservative gays and lesbians.”

Well done!! I think that the inherent message in your work, that there is a conservative point of view that isn't confined to white, anglo, hetero, male, businessmen is invaluable to the development of 21st century conservatism.

While the message isn't uniformly popular today, the reality is that, deep down, most decent human beings carry the same values of personal pride and self-determination, free of government interference, which is central to true conservatives. Keep up the good work!

Fred, I am chiming in with my best wishes and support. Gay men and women need to know that they can be conservative, and I hope this sort of forum assists in that. More importantly, conservatives (both big- and little-C) need to know that gay men and women are not necessarily adversaries, merely due to their sexual preferences.
